I dont know how to send a fax using the Dell laser MFP 1815 dh

There might be a paper jam or issue with the drum .. please remove the jammed paper or contact authorised dell support

There's a little blue toggle switch where the copies/scans come out from.
Pull the blue switch toward you, turn off the printer, wait a few seconds, and turn the printer back on.

Hi, I have Dell 1125 All-in-One Laser Printer. I can send faxes by going to fax option and dialing the number.

How can I set it up to receive faxes? keep in mind that I have only one phone line which I use for both phone and fax.

How can I set the ringers in a way that for example at 4th ring goes to answering machine and at 6th ring goes to fax?

I really appreciate it.

Need help fast :)

Here is the Dell online user guide for the 1815dn

Did you check the "answer call after x rings" option?
It sometimes defaults to 7 rings, at which time the sending fax machine has given up already.

You find the settings here: "Fax -> Fax Defaults -> Rings to answer"

If this solved your problem - great!...If not, just come back and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

Inside the print tray (where the paper comes out) on the upper right there is a blue lever. Pull it toward you and that will unlock the scanner. I just did this and restarted my printer and it worked! Hope this helps!

When you lift the scanner lid look to the left bottom. you should see a green slider button. If you stick your hand in the output tray and get it rigth under the green slider you will find a lever. Move that thing backwards or forwards, that is your unlocker.

Dont think its your printer, try faxing to someone else and see if it happens there too.

This means that you have not set up any users in the address book in the printer.

Copy is simple, it will scan the document and print out a copy of the scanned image.

Scan however, is trying to make and store an image file of the scan, but it needs to know WHERE you want to scan it to. The printer does not know where to send the stored image unless you create a storage location for it. This is done with the address book that is stored on the printer.

The material below is how to set up the scanner settings of the printer.

Printer Settings Utility Using the Printer Settings Utility window, you can set up the fax system data options, and create and edit Phonebook entries from your computer. You can also configure the destination launches when you access Scan and then PC.
When you install the Dell software, the Printer Settings Utility is automatically installed.
For information about installing the software, see "Installing Software in Windows".
To open the Printer Settings Utility:

1. Click Start Programs DELL DELL Printers DELL Laser MFP 1815 Printer Settings Utility.
   

The Printer Settings Utility window opens.

1. The Printer Settings Utility window provides several features; Directory (Phone Book, Address Book), Fax Setting (Fax Cover Sheet), and Scan (Destination, Resolution, Scan Color, Show Preview).
   

The Scan Section The Destination Section To configure the operator panel display scan destination list that appears when you access Scan and then PC, click Destination and the Setting button. Using the destination list, you can select a software program that an image can be scanned to.

I've had this same problem, and so far the only way to clear it has been to turn the machine off and on.
